A New BioShock Game is Reportedly in Development at 2K Studio

According to a new report from Kotaku’s Jason Schreier, a new, secret studio within 2K is currently working on the next BioShock game.

The mysterious project, currently codenamed “Parkside”, is said to be the new BioShock, though it’s still top-secret and still relatively early in development. One source told Kotaku that “if anyone from Hangar 13 tried to strike up a conversation with [those at this studio], they’d say ‘Oh, we can’t really talk about it.’” Hangar 13 is the developers behind Mafia 3, though this new studio is a neighbouring fellow developer within 2K.

According to a fiscal report in November 2017, Take-Two said “a highly anticipated new title from one of 2K’s biggest franchises” would release before March 31, 2019. While some believe this to be the new BioShock, it contrasts with Schreier’s findings on the project still being early in development. This release window is most likely set for Borderlands 3, though a full reveal of that is still expected this year (perhaps at E3?).

For now, it’s exciting to think that BioShock will have a new installment, as BioShock Infinite was one of the best gaming experiences I’ve personally had in the last decade. I’m sure this rings true for many fans of the franchise, who are probably clawing for a new entry in this beloved series.
